“Done” Means Live: Real Value in Software Delivery
Discover why “done” means live in production—not just code complete. Learn to deliver real value, close feedback loops, and drive outcomes that …
Deliver what matters. Shape systems and decisions around customer outcomes, not internal convenience.
Customer Focus is the lens through which all meaningful delivery is measured. It’s not about opinions. It’s about outcomes. If your product doesn’t change customer behaviour, it doesn’t matter how elegant the code is or how smooth the deployment was.
Customer Focus drives:
If you’re optimising team velocity, delivery cadence, or engineering throughput without validating customer value, you’re reinforcing the wrong system.
Expect clarity. Expect discipline. Expect work that doesn’t just move fast, but moves in the right direction.
Customer Focus demands that every system of work stays anchored in the only metric that matters: did we deliver something valuable to our customer?
